Apologetics

These articles deal with apologetics per se. For a list of commonly employed fallacies see the page Understanding Fallacies which contains links to articles on the main ones. The apologetics of C.S.Lewis are given their own page - C.S.Lewis Dissected.

Science Vs Religion. Showing how, in the search for truth, science wins because science can demonstrate the truth of its claims.

Warning to future religious apologists! The following two handbooks are almost identical. Only a few words are different so if you do decide to use this handbook, make sure you use the right one or you could be promoting the wrong 'faith' without realising it.

So You’ve Decided To Be An Apologist For Christianity. A useful handbook for those about to take up a career as an on-line apologist for Christianity. Contains all the trick, techniques of evasion, common lies, how to use ad hominem attacks and smug condescension for best effect, and of course a list of fallacies, when to deploy them, 'facts' which must be asserted in spite of all the evidence against them and advise on how to defend yourself from the inevitable attempts to educate and inform you with science.

So You’ve Decided To Be An Apologist For Islam. A useful handbook for those about to take up a career as an on-line apologist for Islam. Contains all the trick, techniques of evasion, common lies, how to use ad hominem attacks and smug condescension for best effect, and of course a list of fallacies, when to deploy them, 'facts' which must be asserted in spite of all the evidence against them and advise on how to defend yourself from the inevitable attempts to educate and inform you with science.

Creationists Promise To Lie For Money. The oath taken by members of the Institute For Creation Research and those whose work it funds and publishes. The only known group of people who claim to be scientists yet commit themselves in advance of their research to a pre-agreed conclusions as a condition of funding.

On The Impotence Of Undetectable Gods. Showing how gods which are, as some of their apologists claim, undetectable by science, are therefore absolutely impotent and so completely incapable of influencing anything.

Eric Hovind's Very Silly Questions. Eric Hovind's attempt to produce a list of "questions science can't answer" like his dad Kent's list (see below). The questions betray an abysmal lack of knowledge of even basic science.

On Omniscience And Free Will. Showing how free will is impossible in the presence of an omniscient, inerrant god, and how such a god could not have created anything.

If you are so concerned about William Lane Craig, then why don't you debate him? I would not be surprised if you're reluctant. It seems most atheists who debate him end up looking like ignorant fools. Unfortunately, the new atheists have what's called DCDism, that is criticizing others for committing logical fallacies in arguments and having cognitive biases and errors influence your thinking, while not realizing that you are committing the same errors.

Note: This is my only blog. Others purporting to be by me or bearing my ident will contain plagiarised and deliberately altered material from this site or material presented as being by me. They will usually be run and maintained by a well-know unemployable Internet abuser, fraud and expelled Catholic seminarian who appears to have developed an obsessive fascination with me, bordering on the psychotic. You can read about him and what caused his psychosis here.
